"Partnership, town to fund new art business" - Daily Tar Heel

I think there are far more productive ways in which to utilize these resources, as much as I believe in art. This is responding to the demands of a small niche that may or may not make a significant contribution to the longterm economic sustainability of downtown.

For example, how about a website that shows all of the businesses along the route of each bus line so that someone living near a bus stop is fully apprised of all of the commercial acitivities easily accessible by bus from that location....and reminding those who do not take a bus regularly how well the Chapel Hill Transit program - for example - works in telling us when the next bus will arrive before we leave our home or office...or, with the right equipment, wherever we may be.

I think that should be a far higher priority, just for example.....
